2010 Geneva Auto Show Honda CR-Z

[8750georgia]

does any one know how the CR Z handles in snow w/o AWD?

V

[poltaotata]

I love this car, fun to drive, not too fast but it's for me is enough !

[Ge0vone]

I'm still iffy about this car, I mean, it get's decent MPG's, still on the heavy side and the motor isn't that great, it's all right, but not great.

Maybe if they ditched the IMA in favor of the R18, and still trim some weight, I believe Honda would have a real hit

[mrgingles]

Hybrid? thats sucks wheres vtec

[DocWolph]

Let me see this ting in action. So far it reads like a slow-poke. Also HONDA is the only company that would call an FF car a sports car... And is the only company that could rightly get a way with it, I guess.

[koukiR32]

obviously you've never driven any Type R model by Honda/Acura.....

[DocWolph]

@koukiR32

That's no guarantee that this one will be that good. Type R's are not specifically sold in the US last time I checked. You have to go to the gray market for that. I may be wrong but I don't see many Type Rs over here. A lot of Si's and Type S's and so on.

[huligans12]

@DocWolph Eclipse, Celica what about them?

[DocWolph]

@huligans12 The last couple of Eclipses have been disappointing though the styling of the current Eclipse is really good. A SEMA showcar with EVO IX drive parts and engine looked like what the car should be.The Celica looked okay once you got past the starfighter styling. But in either case the best versions performing never came over from Japan or were never that good.

[Dugster11]

i dont like the rear spoiler piece of shit

[Pigioto1]

nice. looks like a crx

[Xtrachakra]

it sorta looks like the mazda3

[EpiDemic117]

@Xtrachakra more like the RX8 is what you're trying to say. Still both great cars IMO. It's really hard to pull of a front grill like that.

[topher437]

6-speed hybrid?!?! FINALLY! a true daily driver gas-saver

[seroyer2]

Who do you think will be the first tuner to drop a K20A in this car? hahaha

[johnnyr25]

A K20 is exactly what this car needs. I'm mystified as to why they couldn't just make a Fit Type-R (Fit w/ aK20) instead. Tuners are have been doing it for a while now.

[koukiR32]

As I am sure every single Honda Tuning fanatics.... will think about the same... but I think the coolest thing would be to integrate the IMA system onto the K20A/Z3Highoutput engine..... like 220hp...plus 20/30hp?? Won't that be best of both world.... u could run electric when u are stuck in heavy traffic... but also have the extra power when u feel like it??

[seroyer2]

There hybrid system does not allow you to run on Electric only, its more of a boost to the Gas motor, thats why the car has a 6 speed, and not a CVT.

[koukiR32]

true because Honda's IMA system does not allow you to run purely on electric likes the Prius does.... but however, this particular CRZ is also available with a CVT

[Ge0vone]

@seroyer2 Spoon or Mugen

[NoxNoctisUmbra]

i think it looks really cool, but its a FWD car.. so I will buy the RWD Toyota FT 86 model which has a Proper RWD for a sports car.

[Zayras7]

Would like to see Tsuchiya-san or Gan-san take it for a spin and comment on it.

[metring073]

Hah ha ha.. Europe CRZ 2+2, U.S. version 2 seater because most obese yanks can't fit in the back.. I'm sure the Euro version is definitely better and more practical.

[shadman1911]

@metring073 I couldn't stop laughing... 4 europeans or 2 americans.

[reverseperstalsis]

well atleast it looksbetter than the prius. quite charming

[AnteDC5]

FTL. Y honda? Y?

[Mastecon21]

looks like a prius...oh its a hybrid. i thought this was supposed to be the modern crx?

[scratchymaster]

The crx was originally marketed to be a fuel sipping 2 seat hatch, so the CR-Z is a modern reiteration.

[m0rales]

Coboisarapatanas you're so gay,,, get a man's car!!!!

[coboisarapatanas]

love this car

[julius13edmon]

(Jmoyet)

US Z= Zee your right but not just the UK say Zed ... Well just about the rest of the world say it like that.

[Goremaster]

@julius13edmon Yep, Canada says it in proper english as well. Zed.

[berryfafilling]

cr-zed lol

[jmoyet]

thats how they pronounce the letter Z over there..

US Z= zee, UK Z = zed

[cjjesse]

The front resembles a RX8.

[projectDC4]

looks like a pos. i'd buy a kai or hyndai instead of that. honda will lose money manufacturing that cr-fail.

[SvenX13]

I am just wondering which tuner shop is going to do a K20 swap first when this car is going be released. Lol

[Parkourfalah88]

heheh classic honda shit!!! lol

[Ge0vone]

@SvenX13 I am wondering that as well, I'm assuming it's gonna to be a Japanese tunner, like Mugen or Spoon

[Kraziiboi]

@SvenX13 Spoon was going to do so, but the decided to leave the hybrid system in and tune it

[elmanortega]

european version of almost every car is better 100% than american version

[seroyer2]

Thats because they don't think we notice these things or care about good handling, because our American made cars are so crappy.

[elmanortega]

americans care about good price europeans they want to look good and they pay more for perfection i dont know but remember honda civic si hatchback euro version was amazing type r never got to us land why??? i want to know the reason. skyline australia europe but no usa.

[Parkourfalah88]

coz the japs envy u???

[Parkourfalah88]

yes! sir u r the man!!!

[elmanortega]

japs are better in every way of building cars and tecnology etc but here the diferences are no between japs and americans is about america and europe

[daizmiester]

why do they always plan to make the north american version more shit than the european, geez.....pisses me off

[namesPaul]

i wonder how much the price for one of these are for the north american market

[AaaJii69]

It should be hell light and it should have new gen B16 at least K20. Not some hevy hybrid shit.

[reeeechardxx]

@AaaJii69

What tuners want, is not what the mass wants.

[CrisAntonioMorelos]

i love this idea of the crz but i will always keep my crx si its a lot lighter then the crz

[lordzed83]

Shame those will come whit crap hybrid engines. Cant w8 to see k20 swap in one of those. K20 will change this into a proper sports car.

[OctoCroc]

the ultimate goal of car companies today is to keep the images pertaining to the car, in this case the sports car, while integrating newer technologies.

As times change so will its products. As consumers, we must learn to accept the changes in the market we have initially demanded.

[ariell92]

this car is amazing ! it gotta come to Brazil it will sell like water !

[sloan2007]

that should be hondas new front end resdsign. i like the front

[MazdaArai]

I dont like hondas but they are pretty cool. the front looks like a s2000 dont it.

[lilmurfer]

i remember in 2008 when they had designs for the CR-Z as a concept. But the rear design is totally different from the concept. Well at least they got the design for the shape and front. But what got me really quipped was the rear design; so sleek and futuristic.

[robertinfamous]

the rear looks ugly to me but everything else is pretty cool.

[lilmurfer]

no i meant the rear design for the concept

[TaLoCc]

humm new crx??lol i want this car..think about all da swaps you can do to it.this car has potential.

[RB26DEST]

Honda FTW!

[takashisupreme]

Seem to be Fun At Touge.. Arghhh

[ITrexI]

Hmm...werry interesting. The new Crx. Its one of my favourite cars. The ED9 was a really fun to drive. I liked it much better than the 330Xd BMW...really!

Im glad that they keeped a lot of details what was nice on the earlier modell.

Im looking forward to try it out :)

[jacx11]

video seems to be cut short...

or is just me?

[zeppiafy]

EXTERIOR is NICE.

[XenoRacing]

bring back the nsx :|

[gt40turbocivics]

they are lol search new nsx

[XenoRacing]

no they "cancelled" (postponed) it because of economic downturn, they wanted to build more sporty looking econoboxs to help sales instead of taking a gamble.

[thebossisheretostay]

americans are fat so no back seats for them haha.

[Damon6666]

I hate to say but all the New honda cars are starting become *YAWN* -_- The looks are ewh(IMO) and the HP is (ugh).

[primem13]

the front reminds me of Audi cars especially because of the lights and grill

[BIoodshead]

Doesnt it look more like a Mazda Rx-8?

[XenoRacing]

couldnt agree with you more..

[lildomplaya2]

Idk bout this one =S

[fellafoe]

the american version is only a 2 seater because there so fat with there man boobs jiggaling

[blastun]

[B20civicSD]
